Nine
It is the film that captures the story of the arrogant film director, Guido Contini. Guido was always struggling to find harmony and perhaps his career and personal life. At that time, Guido was trying to harmonize in his life with the many women in his life, including his wife, mistress and others around him.

Largely, the numbers just sit on top of the dramatic action, adding little to our understanding of the characters and seldom contributing to the advancement of the story.

It has a lot to gnaw on, but it's worth gnawing on.

Day-Lewis, over-egging the angst as well as the Eye-talian accent, is charmless and insufferable. But the person you really want to slap is Marshall, whose brash directing style simply doesn't suit Nine's more whimsical charms.

A painfully formulaic message, trite dialogue, and a strangely episodic narrative structure that renders the whole thing exhausting.

What we get is a film that is close in story to Fellini's film, but which needed more time for its actresses and better music to make it all worthwhile.

It's a movie about a musical about a movie about a man's inner life -- surely we can eliminate some of the middle men.

It's an over-the-top, eye-popping musical that doesn't completely satisfy, especially compared to it's original source classic.

Nine is, if not a grand work, terrifically tasty eye and ear candy. Two numbers -- from somewhat unexpected quarters -- are worth the price of admission alone.

Where Fellini dared us to race alongside his imagination, Marshall is thuddingly cautious.

There's a lot of high-powered star wattage in Nine, but it never generates much heat.

The film suffers from the simple fact that its songs aren't memorable.

Nine should have been called 4Â 1/2 because it doesn't come close to the work of the master who inspired it.
